Reviews:

1. As the replacement for the magnificent Dell 2405FPW, there was little doubt that the 24-inch UltraSharp 2407WFP was going to be a good LCD monitor offering by Dell. But how good was still an important question.

   TrustedReviews explores the 2407WFP, and found it good, but not as great as it could have been. You probably wouldn’t be able to see this from the 8 out of 10 overall rating awarded to the 24-incher, but their verdict rings clear: “Dell has produced another fine large display at a good price, but minor flaws in image quality mean that unless Dell can lower its prices, we can only recommend choosing the Samsung 244T instead.”

   A pity indeed, but in our opinion, the Dell 2407WFP remains a solid choice to ponder upon nevertheless.

2. Unlike TrustedReviews’ review of the Dell 2407WFP, PC Authority’s review of the 24″ widescreen LCD monitor was full of unrestrained praise. Not only did they award the screen a perfect 6 out of 6 rating, they also gave the HDCP-compliant monitor the PC Authority Labs Winner and Excellence awards.

   One reason for the (slightly) differing opinions could have been the monitors used as comparison to the 2407WFP. While TrustedReviews compared the excellent and well-priced Samsung 244T to the Dell, PC Authority used the uber-expensive Eizo FlexScan S2410W as comparison instead.

   In any case, effusive praise is effusive praise - whatever the reason. But if you really need any more reason to get a Dell 2407WFP of your own, just read and reread PC Authority’s conclusion: “With all of its features, the 2407FPW’s only real drawback is that it isn’t as stylish as the Eizo. But considering the superb three-year, next-business-day, on-site warranty (with two week ‘satisfaction guaranteed’ policy as well), the extra inputs, the card reader and bargain price, it wins this Labs by a clear mile. At this price it’s a steal. It’s the best monitor we’ve ever seen both for workers and multimedia buffs alike. Buy one now.”
